Lyrics & Translation

[English]

Wow. This is the future?

Everything looks slicker.

Hey, Lois, I found some double-sided tape.

I think I can do about seven minutes worth

of funny stuff with it.

That should get us to the Meg kissing booth story.

Wow. Things have gotten kind of lazy, huh?

Hey, Peter.

Thanks for letting me borrow your screwdriver set.

You know, I just want to say how nice it is

to be back here with y'all on Spooner Street.

Oh, I guess things didn't work out in Virginia.

Chris, I heard you got a "D" on your report card.

Here's a cutaway.

Matthew McConaughey is terrible.

Good Lord! What's happened to us?

Okay, maybe things seem a little off,

but other than that, the world seems okay.

Which proves my point.

Me stopping 9/11 led to a world that's just fine.

Well, I'll see y'all tomorrow.

(heavy gunfire, explosions booming)

Brian, you might want to look outside.

Oh, my God!

(Cleveland screaming)

Oh, oh! Pebble in my shoe!

Pebble in my shoe. Pebble in my shoe.

Nice work, Bri.

Whoops.

Well, at least Joe gets to be a cyborg.

(mechanical whirring)

Freeze, Frogmire.

You are out past curfew,

and therefore, in violation of local ordinance.

Ribbity.
